Ok, I was going to call it just the 2 year and under thread but ..................

Ever since I've been here at SR I've had a thread in which I've posted almost daily, first it was the 2 weeks and under, then 30 days, 60 days, 90 days etc etc

Having now graduated from the one year and under thread I've found myself without a natural home on here ( although no doubt I'll still annoy the good folks in various other threads ).

I've decided to make a thread for myself to post my random thoughts in, it my intention to check in here daily as i have always done in whichever thread I was in.

Hopefully some of my friends will come and join me and say hello.

Good idea, Fizz. I do the same thing with my "Serious" thread.

I was watching the UEFA cup final tonight and a strange thought hit me.

I've realised I now have sober memories, this is new to me.

I can remember watching the UEFA cup final last year as well, I was only about 10 days sober at the time but I was sober and I can remember watching it.

Must have seen about every final over the last 15 years but have no real memory of most of them, they'd have all been watched through a vodka haze !!!!!!!

Found this promo video of where we were on hols.

Sober memories. Even when I am sober I don't seem to remember much, lol.

Was listening to a programme on Radio 5 today about how the BNP party is becoming more popular in Britain and how the leader may get an invite to the Queens garden party.

While I think it would be an awful reflection on this country were they ever to get power, it got me thinking.

I have no idea what race, colour, religion most of the folks here on SR are, nor does it matter, we come from all over the world linked by our common bond of alcohol problems.

Congratulations on your 1 year birthday! I never thought of that before, I have sober memories too, but like someone else said I don't remember much sober either but at least I can look back on the past 20 months and no for certain that I didn't do anything under the influence that might haunt me.:day2

Ananda

lol

You can't blame me fizzy...i've been looking for this thread...couldn't find it thought maybe one of the other mods realized your thread needed to be deleted

Jason kidnapped the hedgy..... i was hoping maybe that detective bloke you are always reading about might help me out.....I miss my hedgy

one of the defining moments for me when i first started trying to get sober was when after 2 years i drank again. I drove in a blackout to my boyfriends house and the bits and peices i remember were....er...embarrasing to say the least.

But what struck me was that i came out of the blackout several times that evening and i would try to pretend that where i was and what i was doing made some sort of logical sense...when it was hopelessly messed up.

After that i understood that a BIG part of my drive to be sober is that i want to remember how i got from A to Z...i want to be awake for my life and know how i got where i am...i may make poor choices at times, but i want to remember them.

Hey Fizz..

Like what you said here!

I rarely think about it...but is funny, not funny haha..but "strange"..that I associate

screen names with an idea in my head..about what a person might look like.

Sometimes. I thought my pals Rusty and Dee were gals

Some thought I was a guy! But it is true..race, color, religion do not matter.

I, a singlewhitefemale. A drunk. Recovered. Well, I choose to not drink today.

This is how I "stay" recovered. My being a drunk is bond with "you all."

Sheesh..that sounded southern. lol So much for labels!

:ghug2:

Have a great day everyone.
